I've set up the Ethnobiology Clubs Mailing List on freelists (same org
as the SEB students one), and subscribed everyone in the previous
mailings plus some other requests. This list is to figure out how to
integrate regional ethnobiology clubs around the world into a cohesive
unit, sharing activities, ideas, and perhaps converging for some
meetings or retreats here and there.

Amy Keller of the NY group has posted info on just such an event:

Perhaps you've noticed that the Ethnobiology Club took a hiatus
for the spring semester after co-sponsored guest speaker, Dr.
Michael Coe, last fall at the Graduate Center. However, we have been
saving our funds for a huge event this September.
Please save the date for a Skill Share Weekend at Lacawac
Sanctuary in the Poconos. We have a space reserved there for
September 25-28, with accompanying meeting space for a few hours
Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th.
Ideas for skills to share include, beer/wine making, crafts, food
recipes or preserving, local ethnobotany/edible and/or medicinal
plants, research presentations, botanical and fungal identification,
or any field/laboratory skills you think people could benefit from.
Skills or presentations could be from any subject or interest, and
EVERYONE is welcome, whether you've attended Ethnobiology Club
events before or not. Also, attending for only one night is
perfectly acceptable as many of us have busy schedules.
We will be sending out an official call for presentors later
this summer, but please contact me anytime with ideas or questions.
Have a great summer.

There's info below on how to post to the list, have people subscribe
(they can do that themselves), and remove yourself from the list. Enjoy!

you have a large list (i.e., thousands of users), feel free to email
staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with your subscriber list -- we can add your
subscribers manually (see below).
- Do not unsubscribe from your own

list -- doing so will render you unable to make configuration
changes and

perform other administrative tasks.

- Full documentation of the online administration system is
available at
http://www.freelists.org/help/. We encourage you to get the most
out of the
web interfaces, and we encourage subscribers to do the same. Please
let
your list members know about the advantages of exploring the
FreeLists Web
Login. As an administrator, you can configure site preferences
through the

FreeLists Portal Administrator, and list preferences through the
administrative portion of the FreeLists Web Login. See
http://www.freelists.org/login.html for more information.

- We understand that you'll probably want to send some test messages
to your
new list to try out the features before putting the list into
production.
These messages will appear in the archives, so we've provided a
feature that
allows you to remove specific messages at will. Just log in to the
Portal
